Historiography and Identity II: Post-Roman Multiplicity and New Political Identities
, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, viii + 356 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Language: English. ISBN 9782503584706.
Summary The six-volume sub-series Historiography and Identity unites a wide variety of case studies from Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, from the Latin West to the emerging polities in Northern and Eastern Europe, and also incorporates a Eurasian perspective which includes the Islamic World and China. The series aims to develop a critical methodology that harnesses the potential of identity studies to enhance our understanding of the construction and impact of historiography. This second volume of the series studies the social function of historiography in the Justinianic age and the post-Roman kingdoms of the West. The papers explore how writers in Constantinople and in the various kingdoms from Italy to Britain adopted late antique historiographical traditions and adapted them in response to the new needs and challenges created by the transformation of the political and social order. What was the significance of their choices between different models (or their creation of new ones) for their 'vision of community'? The volume provides a representative analysis of the historiographical resources of ethnic, political, and religious identifications created in the various Western kingdoms. In doing so, it seeks to understand the extant works as part of a once much wider and more polyphonic historiographical debate.

Triumphal Entries and Festivals in Early Modern Scotland. Performing Spaces
, Brepols, 2020 Hardback, 349 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:45 b/w, 23 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503585413.
Summary This book offers unprecedented insights into the richness of Scottish culture in the early modern period, studying triumphal entries - that is, processional civic welcomes offered to royal guests - staged in Edinburgh in the period between 1500 and the Wars of the Three Kingdoms. Based on a comprehensive and imaginative analysis of the written and archival sources available for these events, it also brings renewed attention to the country's artistic, architectural, and literary traditions. The analysis of comparable events staged in England and continental Europe - in France, the Italian peninsula, and the Low Countries - helps frame Scotland's distinctiveness within a network of international connections. The book explores how the urban space of early modern Edinburgh was employed with changing fortunes to address potentially explosive power dynamics, expressed by civic and royal, secular and religious (pre and post Reformation), Scottish and post-1603 pan-British worldviews. Scottish triumphal culture is presented as profoundly embedded in the urban context within which it is set, rich in politicised rituals of negotiation and mutual acknowledgement, and visually vibrant through temporary structures, decorations, pageants, and costumed performers. This book offers a well-rounded answer to the still relevant question of Scottish identity, and how identity and power - individual, communal, national, royal - can be performed through active engagement with civic space.

Remembering the Dead. Collective Memory and Commemoration in Late Medieval Livonia
, Brepols, 2023 Hardback, 318 pages, Size:178 x 254 mm, Illustrations:14 b/w, 3 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503591193.
Summary Medieval memoria - the commemoration of the dead - was both a form of collective memory and a social practice present in every sphere of life. It shaped identities and constituted groups, and thus the study of commemorative practices can tell us a great deal about medieval communities. This study shows the importance of memoria as a form of collective memory for different groups and institutions: city government and guilds, the Teutonic Order, bishops and cathedral chapters, and monastic communities, in late medieval Livonia (present-day Latvia and Estonia). TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Chapter 1. Remembering Origins Chapter 2. Commemoration of a Group and its Leaders Chapter 3. Networks of Memory - Livonia and Beyond Chapter 4. Conflict and Memory Chapter 5. Memoria and Urban Elites Chapter 6. Memoria and the Non-elites Chapter 7. Reformation and Memoria Conclusion
Otherness' in the Middle Ages
, Brepols, 2022 Hardback, 478 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:25 b/w, 9 col., 4 maps b/w, 4 maps, Language: English. ISBN 9782503594026.
Summary Although 'Otherness' is an extremely common phenomenon in every society, related research is still at its beginnings. 'Otherness' in the Middle Ages is a versatile and complex theme that covers a great number of different aspects, facets, and approaches: from non-human monsters and cultural strangers from remote places up to foreigners from another country or another town; it can refer to ethnic, cultural, political, social, sexual, or religious 'Otherness', inside or outside one's own community. In any case, however, 'Otherness' is a subjective phenomenon depending on personal views and ascriptions, an issue of 'imagination' and experience rather than 'reality'. There is neither one single model of alterity nor is 'Otherness' a stable phenomenon, but it changes over time and according to the cultural context. All this calls for methodological reflection and needs thorough investigation. The methodological introduction and the 18 contributions of this volume demonstrate the great diversity of the theme and its different manifestations and perspectives. They tackle the problem from distinct angles and disciplines (history, art history, archaeology, literary history, and philology) in a wide chronological and thematic frame, using different methodological approaches, dealing with different areas (from Northern and Southern Europe to Byzantium and India), perspectives (including law, social order, the past, a sea), and diverse kinds of sources. They examine all kinds of 'Otherness' mentioned above, highlight demarcation and rejection, aversion or acceptance, assimilation and integration, thus relativizing a strict dichotomy between 'the Self' and 'the Other' or between inside and outside. This volume is so far the most comprehensive attempt to tackle the huge problem of 'Otherness' in the Middle Ages.

Roman Identity. Between Ideal and Performance
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 402 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:10 col., 2 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503599229.
Summary Recent years have seen a significant increase in migration and displacement. Due to economic, political, and climatic pressures, large numbers of individuals are leaving their countries of origin and settling in new environments and societies. As a result, national identity has increasingly come to the fore in public discourse. Shaping and reshaping national agendas, debates surrounding national identity are affecting policies and influencing voting behaviours. Discourse on this issue is often centred on the idea of autochthony and nativism. Yet we do not encounter such anxieties in ancient Rome, one of the longest-lasting political orders in history. Unlike among the Greeks, the idea of autochthony did not take root among the Romans. Instead, Rome's identity tended to be fluid, accommodating the development of highly variegated and multi-ethnic groups and societies. The purpose of this volume is to understand how the Romans represented themselves and how others defined and regarded them. It aims to identify the various narratives that contributed to the construction of Roman self-representation by raising the following questions: What stories did Romans tell about themselves? How did they enact and perform their selfhood in biographical and autobiographical sources? How did Greek and Judean sources understand and define Roman identity? And, taken together, how did these narratives influence Roman self-perception? Rather than arguing for a monolithic or coherent understanding of Romanitas, this volume explores a variety of performances and manifestations of Roman identity. It focuses both on sources where the self or individual is the primary focus, alongside more general texts dealing with specific elements of Roman identity.

Roman Names in the Cyclades. Part ?I
, Brepols, 2023 Paperback, 504 pages, Size:216 x 280 mm, Illustrations:47 col., Language: English. ISBN 9789603710776.
Summary The second volume of the study on the Roman names in the Cyclades completes the contribution to the social history of a marginal zone of the Roman world. It includes prosopographic catalogues of bearers of Roman names attested on Amorgos, Anaphe, Ios, Naxos, Oliaros, Paros, Pholegandros, Thera and attestations connected generally with the Cyclades, but not with a specific island. An extensive introduction presents the historical context and a synthetic overview of the diffusion of Roman names and citizenship in the Cyclades. The book is enriched by two synthetic contributions written by specialists. One of them (El. Sverkos) focuses on the origin of certain characteristic names and the other (P. Doukellis) on the study of 'spatiality' and the sociological parameters of the diffusion of the names as a method for perceiving the complex mechanisms for the construction of personal identities. This work is also a contribution to the epigraphy of the Cyclades, as the prosopographic catalogues were based on autopsy of the published and unpublished epigraphic material, relocation of stones and research in the archive of the Inscriptiones Graecae (Berlin). This method yielded hitherto unknown prosopographic data as well as new readings and interpretations of epigraphic texts which had not been studied for over a century. As part of the documentation, 47 plates include photos of several inscriptions or their squeezes, which are published here for the first time.
